Percutaneous Closure of the Acquired Gerbode Shunt Using the Amplatzer Duct Occluder in a 3-Month Old Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Gerbode shunt, known as the left ventricle to the right atrial communication, is a rather rare finding, following surgical closure of septal defects. Even though the surgical closure is accepted as a treatment of choice, we report a successful percutaneous transcatheter closure of the Gerbode shunt in a 3-months old baby who weighed 3 kilograms.

متن کاملLong-Term Results of Transcatheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Infants Using Amplatzer Duct Occluder
OBJECTIVE Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most frequently seen congenital heart diseases. Its closure is recommended because of the risk of infective endocardis, as well as morbidity and mortality in the long. The aim of this study was to assess the long term results of the transcatheter closure of PDA in infants using amplatzer duct occlude (ADO). METHODS From May 2004 to Septem...

We describe percutaneous closure of an unusual paravalvular leak, with a communication from the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve to the left atrium adjacent to a St. Jude mitral valve prosthesis, in the absence of an infection. The patient presented with worsening dyspnea and edema. The anatomic location of the valve annulus adjacent to the noncoronary cusp underlies the etiology of this co...
متن کاملComplementary Techniques of Percutaneous Closure of Ductus Arteriosus Using Detachable Cook Coils and Amplatzer Devices.
BACKGROUND Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a commoncardiac malformation whose treatment locally has been surgical ligation via a lateral thoracotomy. Device closure of the ductus was first performed at the Mater hospital in 1999 in a ten year old male using a five millilitre detachable cook coil. In 2000 the Amplatzer device was introduced to close larger ducts. Subsequently these devices hav...
